Key moments

78'3 - 1GOAL! Igor Thiago (Brentford) strikes the penalty low down the middle and scores after the ball glances off the leg of Matz Sels.

78'Referee Peter Bankes is happy with his original decision after the VAR review. It’s a PENALTY to Brentford!

77'Hang on! It might not be a penalty for Brentford as the ref now wants to review using VAR. This hopefully won't take too long.

45+2'3 - 0Goal! Elliot Anderson slips in Chris Wood (Nottingham) for a one-on-one with the keeper, and he simply dinks the ball over him into the net.

42'2 - 0Goal! Morgan Gibbs-White swings the ball deep into the box and finds Dan Ndoye (Nottingham) unmarked, and his close-range header flies past the keeper into the top left corner. 2:0.

5'1 - 0Goal! Chris Wood (Nottingham) unleashes a first-time shot from inside the box and beats the goalkeeper inside the left post. 1:0.
